The Mr. Fuji we knew —Artistes



Top Nigerian musicians continues to pay tributes to the music legend.
I’ve lost a friend, brother and companion
—Alhaji Kollington Ayinla
What can I say about the death of my good friend? I have lost a friend, brother and a companion. We were together for more than 40 years. Don’t forget we were in the Nigerian Army together. Then, when I got frustrated with Fuji music, he encouraged me not to quit. Oh! What a loss! But Allah knows best. I thank God for giving him the opportunity to live a fulfilled life.

Today is my saddest day
—King Wasiu Ayinde, alias K1 De-Ultimate
This is my saddest day. We have lost a gem in the music industry. He was more than a genius. He gave meaning to music. I thank all his fans who stood by him when he was ill.
His death came to me as a shock. However, we all have to bow to the will of God, having given him the grace to live a fulfilled life. So, rather than mourn him, I would say we should celebrate this Icon.
Adieu Agbajelola Barusati ! We love you, but God loves you more .Sun n re o!

This is a shocker
—King Sunny Ade
Although he was in the hospital for too long, his death still came as a shock because everybody was praying for his recovery. I, particularly, prayed for him alongside some top men of God and sent him messages. So, we expected to see him back soon.
The painful aspect of his death is that Barrister was a stabilizing factor in that brand of music; his role will definitely be difficult to fill.

Music is gone
—Saheed Osupa
This is a tragedy! So, I will not see my father anymore! Oh! My father is gone forever! Music is gone! Fuji is gone.
He was the greatest of them all
—Onyeka Onwenu
It’s a pity that we only recognize their greatness when they are gone. Barrister was the greatest of them all. May his soul rest in peace. 
It will be difficult to fill his vacuum
—Yinka Ayefele
The death of Alhaji Agba came to me as a rude shock. I am yet to believe that he is gone for good. I love him so much because he changed the face of music in Nigeria. I am sure it will be difficult to fill the vacuum created by his death. It is so sad that Alhaji is dead. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
What a loss!
—Daddy Showkey
I just realized that this life means nothing! Life is worthless! How could Alhaji Balogun die this way? He had suffered so much. I prayed fervently for his recovery, but see the result. What a loss!
Barrister was my great mentor
—Lagbaja
He was the first person to make me realize that I could make success out of my career. He told me to believe in myself and stick to what I believe in.
His music will never die
—Alariwo
The death of Alhaji Agba, Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, is a sad one to Nigerians and, indeed, the nation’s music industry. Though he is dead, his music will never die.
A legend is gone
—Bola Abimbola
Wow! A legend is gone! But his legacy lives forever. He was definitely one of my great mentors while I was growing up. His achievements and awesome contributions are immeasurable.
